We will cover the building of a podcast the easy and hard way. I started with the hard way that includes using Flask and PyMongo (plus a lot of string formatting) to build my site and host my feed. Then I will cover why I stopped doing that and opted to go with a more traditional host.
Next I will talk about my editing process as a whole and how I use python + requests to do things like add guests to a mailing list and trigger some automations (like social media posts)
Finally I will cover the steps that I took to turn my skills into a business around marketing and editing. This includes:
* automating mailing lists and email creation with maligun.
* automating Newsletter builds for clients with Javascript and eventually python (Requests, Beautifulsoup + Jinja)
* automating my billing process with with stripe.
I've been interviewing people in tech for the past 4 years. Last year I turned this into a business where I help other content creators with their brand.
In this talk I will break down some of the tools that I used to make turn the podcast into a boutique business by using a lot of python and some awesome folks in the python community!
A Python conference north of the Golden Gate
North Bay Python is a single-track conference with a carefully curated set of talks representing the diverse Python community and their different areas of interest.
If a topic is less to your interest, or you've met some people you really want to sit down and chat with, we'll have plenty of areas away from the main theatre to catch up and chat.
Our goal is to keep prices as low as possible. That means we won't be catering lunch. Instead, you can look forward to extra-long lunch breaks you can use to explore all of the great food options around the venue.
